Memories of times past

The Danish Royal Family are great at getting out the family photo album.  On big days, like anniversaries and birthdays, they do like to share never seen before snaps of major events.  Just a few weeks ago, when the Crown Prince and Princess marked their tenth wedding anniversary, the Royal Household released unseen pictures of the wedding.  And now, to mark Prince Henrik's 80th birthday, they have set out images from his life so far on the royal website.  And the photos show a life packed with excitement.  The consort of the oldest monarchy in the world has been one of the most modern princes in Europe.
